Museum of Contemporary Circumpolar Art, Stadtbachstrasse 8A, 3012 Bern
Plants are more than healers or companions - they are vital threads in the web of cultural and ecological relationships.
Their essential role is recognized everywhere in the circumpolar north as well as in the Alpine regions: as sources of medicine, as relatives in many indigenous worldviews and as silent but powerful allies in the search for balance and sustainability.
In traditional knowledge systems, plants are honored not only for their healing properties, but also as active members of a living community that includes humans, animals, spirits and the land itself. They appear in rituals, folk practices and everyday acts of care.
At the center of these connections lies the earth - the soil that nourishes roots, carries memories and connects all beings across time and space.
This exhibition invites you to connect with the wisdom rooted in plants and the land - and to reflect on what it means to live together on our shared planet.
